A Musical Concert of Unity, Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

A Musical Concert of Unity, Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is an event that celebrates the legacy of the civil rights leader and his vision of a peaceful and just world.

The concert will feature a conversation on nonviolence, justice, and racial equity led by Teachers College Professor and expert on targeted violence and hate prevention, Dr. Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, followed by a musical performance by Black Legacy Project, a group of singers and musicians who honor the history and culture of African Americans through song. The concert aims to foster unity across communities and inspire people to follow Dr. King’s example of courage and compassion.

The concert is open to the public and free of charge, but registration is required. A reception with refreshments will be served after the concert.

The concert is a part of the International Interfaith Research Lab, a project that explores the role of religion and spirituality in promoting social justice and peace. The concert is also a tribute to Dr. King’s birthday, which is celebrated as a national holiday in the United States on the third Monday of January.

The concert is a unique opportunity to experience the power of music and dialogue in creating a more connected and harmonious world.
